Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The scanning probe microscope creates images of atoms through a combination of passing an electric current between the tip of an ultrathin needle and some conducting surface, measuring the up and down motions of an ultrathin needle, and processing a series of numbers into a computer-generated image of atoms. Therefore, all of the above choices are correct.
